   This looks like the glass power line insulators I use in my house as door stops and book ends. Love those!

   The fracture pattern looks like a piece of glass that has cooled and broken. I have a green piece that my Grandfather, I’m told, picked up from an old glass factory near where he grew up. But I’m not sure what is in it–looks like eggs of some insect, almost, but I wouldn’t think they would keep shape in any glass that was molten enough to surround them. A mystery!

   Holy cow Erin!! I forgot all about those Orbits Drinks! I do remember I didn’t like them one bit.

   I have no clue what that glass stuff is! What a mystery.

   I see a perfect white dove nestled down in the top center, as if behind a an icy rain, it is looking this way and has its left wing tucked beside it and one wing fluffed up to the right of it…black eye and dark tip to its beak, pausing on an icy ledge and a sea creature’s strange eye on the left…a dragon maybe? wow will be fun to find out what it is really….that dove seems to have two eggs beside it too!

    This looks like slag glass to me, I have several pieces of slag glass. The guy I got them from said they were the chunks broken out of big pots in glass factories. I don’t know if that’s true or not but I love them…although none of mine have the interesting white shapes inside them

    Looks like a flower bud frozen in ice. Whatever it is it’s beautiful.

    Is that from a lightning strike cooking the dirt to glass? My dad used to bring home glass tubes from the desert, but in his case it was from live electrical wires that fell in a storm. He was an electrician.

    Glass with inclusions of some kind… a fulgarite, from a lightening strike? If so, what a find!

    oh wowie – it’s lovely! i’ll go out on a limb here & suggest – a close-up of the broken end of a glass cane that glassmakers use – marbles, maybe?! the fact that i love/collect marbles has nothing to do with my guess – nothing whatever! well, ok – it could also be a mineral with inclusions . . . but what are you up to with it, hey?!

    Driving through Arkansas, you can find a lot of slag glass, in pretty much any color you can imagine. When I was a kid I used to love the stuff. It was very cheap and abundant and we happened to drive through Arkansas often enough for me to get a few pieces. All of my pieces have gone missing over the years now, but a giant piece of colorful slag glass was quite neat to have owned.

    If this isn’t slag glass, do tell what it is!

    PRETTY!
    I don’t need to know what it is. I just want to frame that photo on my wall. Mmmm, I love that color.
